THE BLACK HAND FORUM

In an early 1980s report on Gatto, the FBI acknowledges that he runs his crew through Grecco. 1.jpg In a report years later, the New Jersey Commission of Investigation said Grecco was a Genovese member. 2.png I remember throwing up in a plant at LT's in Brielle NJ on RT 71 in the early 90s. That pl...

Most of the Decavalcante Family lives in retirement villages in Toms River NJ....lol

I do not think former Chief of Detectives Michael Mordaga involved with Lagano wants this case solved. Most mob hits these days are solved or LE knows who did it. Like is the case with Larry Ricci. LE knows Coppola pulled it off but was unable to convict him. The Lagano hit...LE has not even named a...

Maybe I was thinking of this but I swear the one I was thinking of happened after 2005 https://www.nytimes.com/1999/06/06/nyregion/officially-a-father-son-suicide-but-mobster-s-death-stirs-doubts.html Yeah the Ligammari father son suicide. I was always highly suspect of this being a suicide. They w...

Awesome info Rocco, thank you for that. Forgot to add that Anthony Truglia(the older brother) name was also dropped in that late 90s S FL Gambino indictment that nailed Nicky Corozzo and a bunch of other guys. And informant looking for a sentenced reduction dropped his name involving a Miami gambli...

The Truglia family history is pretty interesting. They are from Long Branch NJ. Patsy's father was also names Patsy. In 1976 Patsy Sr, his and kids had recently moved to S FL. Patsy Sr was getting shaken down by 3 extortion artist and he shot them all dead after they started smacking his wife around...

They thought he was a rat

No he was hit for disrespecting or putting his hands on another made guy from Philly while in Jail..

I believe he was playing with the FBI to get his wife a good deal..and when he did then he stopped talking to the feds.

Wasn't Ricci close to Johnny DiGilio and essentially got hit for the same fucking thing, but taking the global plea deal? They were both killed for not pleading out. But I don't think they were close at all. DiGilio was from Bayonne and Ricci's is from Newark. Also they ran 2 different union locals

Step Son

Today its a hotspot for Colombians !lol

Its funny how they call Al Grecco just a bookmaker. He was linked to at least a half dozen murders. One in which he put an ice pick thru a guys ear into his brain. He was more of a hitman and enforcer then a bookmaker.

once it hits the streets it will be cut with fentynal and the bodies will pile up...
